In recent months, we’ve seen efforts to repeal some but not other AUMFs (Authorizations for the Use of Military Force), plus talk of creating a new AUMF (why?!). And for years we’ve watched people like Senator Kaine talk about reclaiming Congressional war powers while pushing legislation to eviscerate them. So, I thought I had reason to worry.
I heard about this new legislation before it appeared from people concerned that it was not going to address the power to impose illegal and deadly sanctions on nations around the world. I thought that was a serious concern. And it turns out to have been well justified, as the bill does not say one word about sanctions. But I was wary of focusing on promoting that improvement to a bill that nobody would show me or tell me what else was in it. Not much point in perfecting a catastrophically bad bill, you know?
War Powers Reform Bill Far Better Than Feared

It’s hard to imagine the mask-free world just over a year ago, when
New Hampshire Magazine honored me as one of their presidential “Primary Superfans” for zealously pursuing goofy photo-ops from Nashua to Dixville Notch (and every square inch of granite in between).
For the past four presidential election cycles, I’ve photographed White House hopefuls with my favorite cartoon character – Dino Flintstone – as they’ve stampeded through New Hampshire’s apple farms, ice cream stands and diners. It’s a profoundly different ask than the selfie and autograph requests that politicians typically receive. The dinosaur doll catches them off-guard and forces them to momentarily go off script.
Dr. Harvey Risch of the Yale School of Public Health and physician Dr. Scott Jensen join The Ingraham Angle to discuss
This is a rush transcript from The Ingraham Angle, January 29, 2021. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
LAURA INGRAHAM, FOX NEWS HOST: Hello, everyone, I m Laura Ingraham, and this is The Ingraham Angle from Washington tonight. With a big lineup for you. Senator Rand Paul and Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard are here on the destructive political intelligence and media apparatus that is being constructed in the first weeks of the Biden administration.
Also, tonight, we re going to expose the real anti-vaxxers and ask why Dr. Fauci still continues to downplay an early and effective treatment for COVID. Our medicine cabinet digs in. And Biden bumbles why Kamala s family is covered in fluff. Raymond Arroyo has that in Friday Follies.
